Food and beverages on private aircraft are a far cry from what you’ll find on most airline flights. Bizav caterers offer an array of delectable delights—everything from smoked Scottish salmon and tamarind honey lamb kabobs to mint and cucumber gazpacho, burgers with cognac sauce and raspberry pecan chicken salad.

Many caterers can accommodate passengers with allergies, religious food-preparation requirements and requests for vegan or organic fare, and many are flexible in regard to schedule changes and last-minute trips.

In addition to providing food, beverages and place settings, catering companies offer menu planning, advice for international destinations, training on food storage and safety, flowers and even entertainment amenities such as DVDs.

““When I made the film The Invention of Lying, they gave me a private jet for getting back and forth between New York and London. I thought, ‘I will never use it’ but I ended up using it every weekend. You turn up, right, and the airport is completely empty. I mean, there’s just someone at the desk and then the pilot, who says, ‘Are you ready to go?’ and you say, ‘Don’t you want to see my passport?’ and he goes, ‘Oh yeah, I suppose I’d better.’”
